Prescription Appetite Supressant And Band



Recommended Posts

I went in for my fill today lost 6 lbs from my last visit a month ago which I thought was fine. The aprn who does the fills comes in and says she wants me to lose faster and gave me a prescription for adipex I'm just a little confused I paid to have this surgery so I don't have to do things like this but here I am at cvs waiting for my prescription I have to go back to the Dr in two weeks for a follow up she also gave me a fill too. Did this happen to anyone else out there????

that is one of my fears. I have tried to take Apidex before and hated the way it made me feel. I would go a mile a minuted during the day and I would crash in the evenings. My kids hated me on it as well...boy was I crabby.

I don't know...I would think the lapband with the proper fill is where the weight is supposed to come off from. I too got the band to stop with all the other garbage. I sweated like a pig the whole time I was taking adipex. I think I would cry if the dr. suggested this to me. I don't think I would do it. Call your doc and tell them how you feel about this.

I would wait to talk to your Dr in two weeks. Six pounds in a month is great! Plus you got a fill so that may speed up your weight loss.

Personally... I would NOT take any pills for weight loss. But that is me.

Congrats on your weight loss.

Thanks for the advice I got the prescription which was not covered by my insurance ::rolls eyes:: I'm going to give it the college try for two weeks and if I feel like crap I'm going to stop. My overall health is way more important than the aprn seeing a fast weight loss.....if I wanted to lose weight fast I would've had a different surgery.

Keep your fingers crossed for me :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
